Medical Xpress / Temporal lobe epilepsy: A new strategy to correct abnormal electrical activity
Many patients suffer from epilepsy that cannot be controlled by current medications. Surgical removal of epileptogenic brain regions is effective in only about half of cases, and not all patients are eligible for the procedure. ...
Medical Xpress / Smart combinations of antibiotics can slow down resistance
When a bacterium becomes resistant to one antibiotic, it may sometimes become more sensitive to another. This biological side-effect offers an unexpected opportunity in the fight against antibiotic resistance.
Medical Xpress / White House autism briefing linked to swift shifts in prescribing patterns
A White House briefing in September 2025 that raised concerns about acetaminophen use during pregnancy and promoted the drug leucovorin as a potential autism treatment was followed by sharp changes in how doctors prescribed ...
Phys.org / A new clue to how the body detects physical force
Every time we feel a gentle tap on the skin, specialized nerve cells convert that physical force into an electrical signal the brain can interpret as touch. While scientists have long known that a protein called PIEZO2 acts ...
Phys.org / One-of-a-kind microscope reveals living cells in unprecedented detail
Stanford researchers have combined two microscopy techniques to create a one-of-a-kind instrument that can show cell structures interacting in real time at an unprecedented 120-nanometer resolution—the highest achieved ...
Phys.org / Scientists develop new model to accurately assess global salt marsh carbon sinks
A research team from the Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, has developed an innovative model to accurately assess the carbon sequestration capacity of global salt marshes, addressing a long-standing ...
Medical Xpress / When floods hit, the risk of malaria follows: How disaster systems can prepare better
When floods sweep through southern Africa, the most visible damage is immediate: homes washed away, crops destroyed, clinics disrupted, families displaced. These images dominate headlines and humanitarian appeals. But as ...

Phys.org / Multifractal patterns across deep time: What measurement density reveals about Earth's history
Much of our understanding of Earth's past is derived from stratigraphic records exposed in rock outcrops or recovered from drilled cores. These records span immense time intervals, from thousands to billions of years, and ...
Phys.org / Newfound third cell type enables fully functional hair follicles in the lab
Hair regrowth treatment may soon take a major leap forward, as researchers in a recent study have successfully grown complete, fully functional hair follicles outside of the living body, in a dish. This was made possible ...
Phys.org / AI-designed diffractive optical processors pave the way for low-power structural health monitoring
A team of researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) has introduced a novel framework for monitoring structural vibrations using diffractive optical processors. This new technology uses artificial intelligence ...
